In 2075, Luna is no longer a penal colony, but it's still a prison for everyone except its rulers…
A strange group of plotters are brewing up a revolution: an engaging jack of all trades, his luscious blonde girlfriend and a lonely talking computer. Their aim is the overthrow of the hated Authority and real freedom for the freebooting individualists who make up the moon's population.
Set in a strangely familiar yet utterly alien human civilization of the future, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of the most imaginative science fiction novels ever written.
